This new package is still missing dx_driver.cpp.

After bypassing compilation of the DirectX driver, I still had build errors 
using Visual C++ 2005. To fix them I had to

- add to freesci.def:
  version_guess_from_hashcode
  version_detect_from_executable

- modify resource.h to 
  #define sci_unlink _unlink
  #define sci_rmdir _rmdir

- change snprintf to _snprintf in game_select_scan_info

After that it builds and runs my SQ3 fine.  

However, in the console the version is reported as 0.6.2-devel, and that's 
because VERSION is defined twice in sciv.vcproj:
- once in C/C++ Preprocessor project settings (0.6.3-dev)
- once in C/C++ Command line project settings (0.6.2-devel) which has 
precedence and should be removed

That's it.  Hopefully these comments will help the Win32 maintainer make the 
necessary updates.
